The Stables is inviting visual artists to submit creative works for display and sale in its newly launched foyer gallery. The much-loved music and entertainment venue will host a series of exhibitions throughout the year, providing an exciting new opportunity for local artists to display their work.

The new gallery space replaces the old record shop area in The Stables’ main foyer. Work took place during the summer to prepare the gallery – and now all that is needed is some great art to fill its walls!

“We are excited by this new initiative – and hope that local artists will be too.” said Cat Moore, The Stables’ Executive Director. “We are interested in presenting contemporary work created by artists living in and around Milton Keynes. Almost 10,000 people visit The Stables each month, so the new gallery will provide a great platform for artists to showcase their work to new audiences. We look forward to seeing what exhibition ideas come in from the local visual arts community.”

All exhibitions will be free to visit and available to view during The Stable’s opening hours.

For further information on the plans and the application process, visit Call Out To Artists. The deadline for applications for the 2025 exhibition period is Friday 29 November.

To launch the new gallery space, The Stables will be presenting Through The Lens, a selection of photographs taken at previous editions of IF: Milton Keynes International Festival by the Festival’s official photographer Shaun Armstrong. The exhibition opens on Monday 18 November and is supported by Accura Imaging.
